Da Beet! Dance, Dance, Dance, Am I "Gay"?
One of the cutest sayings that Emma has been using is Da Beet! She calls her feet beet. LOl. When I ask her if she wants her socks on she says Da Beet!Emma is a dancing fool just like me! I know I am no Fred Astaire but at least I try to show her how to do it! She loves to start one of the many, many, toys she has that plays music. She then proceeds to twirl around and around. Its the funny thing she does with her eyes that takes the cake.She keeps her eyes looking in the opposite direction that she is spinning. If she is spinning clockwise then her eyes are are looking all the way counter clockwise. Of course when her gaze …Read more […..]
News You Can Use
As featured in American Police BeatBy Mark NicholsA startling medical report with great implications for law enforcement officers makes a strong case that people who work through the night or the “graveyard shift” have a higher risk of developing certain kinds of cancer. The findings are based on research that discovered higher rates of breast and prostate cancer among people who go to work when everyone else is home sleeping.

Party time, How I got here, Mom goes back to work
The last couple days were fun party days. Emma loves parties and had lots of fun!The first party was a holiday party with Melissa’s friends–my friends too! Emma got to play with Alisha, Daniel, and Lauren. She had lots of fun running in the hallways of the golf club with the other “big” girls. She also liked to grab 21 yr old Britney’s hand and drag her around. The waitresses loved Emma and she seems to brighten every one’s face who she comes in contact with.She didn’t like when Bob picked her up when she didn’t want him to. She cried and actually had tears and when he put her down she ran to me yelling, “Daddy, Daddy!” My …Read more […..]
Opening Drawers, Sitting High, Hiding, No Baba
Today, Actually yesterday, Emma made sounds like she was up at 7:45. I thought she went back to sleep but then heard noises a 1/2 hr later. I went up there and she was sitting next to her dresser with the door open and all her clothes on the floor. LOL Just playing contentedly with her clothes.Our new thing is to go play in the basement. She likes it down there becuase it is roomy and we have all kinds of lights and thigs set up for her to look at. For the first time she wanted to sit on one of the bar stools. I couldn’t get her down! She loves saying “high!” when she sits on the high stools. We have a lighted picture of Chicago …Read more […..]
